    Blindly voting for anyone with a D by their name hasn’t worked out nationally.

    What is it, 34% of the country that didn’t vote? If we had gotten everyone to vote, it would have been a blowout.

      If you give voters something they want instead of a douche or a turd sandwich…

      More people are going to vote.

      That’s literally the whole point of what I’m saying.

      Give voters a fair primary and enjoy the easy win in the general.

        I agree. There’s a hell of a lot of room for more progressive candidates, and I think they can give people things to be excited about instead of being milquetoast.

        My point is

        If you tell people not to vote, fewer people will vote.
